reg, male or female?

[darktorment41]

i was going to order a gladiator reg and i got to lookin at my reg on my b2k and i noticed its not a male... well theres the forgrip part that is female, then theres a short cylinder piece above that, that piece screws into the gun and the reg screws into that. which reg do i need to buy, male or female? and also the gladiator reg is supposed to be great for b2ks but the threaded part looks to big to screw into my gun. also to access the valve i take out the hammer **** and push it out?

Ah now I get your post, I answered on PBN saying I didn't get it but after reading it a few times it makes somewhat sense. The reg is not a female reg it's a direct reg, female mounts where your bottomline would go and is used as a bottomline. You need an ASA adapter and like I said on PBN, www.tantrumpaintball.com is about the best place to get Bushy upgrades and parts for because they got everything. Scrap the direct inline stock reg and buy a Gladiator or Sidewinder to put on there (Sidewinder = Gladitor without all the cleaning). Valves are a easy drop in upgrade but you must take off your trigger frame to take out the screw, still pretty easy.
